Hello and thank you for popping by. I am so delighted that you want to check out today’s project.
Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.
Once a month I prepare ‘Thank You’ cards to send to those of my customers who have placed an order. At the start of the following month I take these cards and add a personal message inside each of the cards, usually on a sticky note so that the card can be used by the recipient. For those customers who met the minimum purchase threshold, I also add a small thank you gift.
For my July customer thank you cards I have featured the Art In Bloom Bundle and one of the designs from the Stampin’ Rewards Pattern Party 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The black and white design coordinates perfectly with the bundle I have chosen. This paper bundle is made up of 48 sheets – 4 each of 12 double-sided designs.
The first collection of cards feature one of the new 2021-2023 In Colours, Pale Papaya. The second collection of cards is bolder and brighter, with Gorgeous Grape the feature.
All the cards were made following the same sequence – cut the card base and DSP layer; wrap and secure a length of coordinating ribbon around the DSP layer (1-1/2″ from the ower edge); stamp and die cut the ‘thanks’; attach the ‘thanks’ using Stampin’ Dimensionals, as shown; emboss and die cut the three flowers using the new Hybrid Embossing Folder/Die product; gently ‘scrunch’ the flowers and attach them to the fornt of the card using more Dimensionals; stamp one of the flowers, in in the same colour, on the card insert and envelope; adhere the card insert inside the card; and finally, add embellishments.
If you have made more than one card, in the same design, you know that this sequence is done ‘assembly line style’ – cut six card bases, cut 12 pieces of DSP …
The reason I chose these two colours is easy to explain. I wanted to use these cards to share the features of some new products with my customers. There are two new stunning specialy papers in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue – Ombre Specialty Paper and 2021-2022 In Colour Shimmer Vellum. Both of these new paper products provide shimmer to projects.
For the Pale Papaya card I was also able to showcase the 2021-2022 In Colour Gems and Open Weave Ribbon.
The Gorgeous Grape card also allowed me to feature coordinating ribbons and the Pastel Pearls.
I am very pleased with the overall proportions and layout of the card. The majority of the card is arranged around the bottom left-hand side of the card.
And, these are many of the wonderful products I have used in my July customer thank you cards. My goal is to need to make many, many more thank you cards each month.
If you live in Australia and want to place an order for Stampin’ Up!® products, you might want to order through me if you would like to receive this kind of customer appreciation.
Make sure you see all the other great cards made for this blog hop.
Happy stamping.
